China Proposes Anti-Cyberbullying Law Targeting AI-Generated Abuse, Signaling Broader Push to Regulate AI Risks

China has proposed draft rules to curb AI-enabled cyberbullying and online abuse.

Platforms would need to detect, remove, and report harmful content, verify user identities, and face tougher penalties for violations.

The proposal also expands anti-cyberbullying education to schools and is open for public comment until August 28.

The move signals a tighter approach to AI governance, moving from general content control to specific AI-related harms.
